ORIGIN

This 1958 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Veloce is a project car that is said to have been off the road and stored indoors since 1969, when it was parked by its second owner for rust repairs that were never completed. The car was originally finished in white and is said to have been repainted in red circa 1960, while a replacement 1,300cc inline-four from a Normale model was rebuilt in 1964 according to an included receipt. This Spider was acquired by the seller in 2001 and is offered with a spare wheel and tire, a factory jack, and a clean Wisconsin title in the seller’s name.

The aged red finish covers factory white paint, which remains visible on the underside of the hood. The car retains brightwork including grilles, bumpers, rocker trim, fender-mounted mirrors, and hubcaps. The lenses for the left front turn signal and license plate light are missing.

The rocker panels are said to be rusted through and have been removed. Additional rust includes perforation behind the front wheels and elsewhere as shown in the photos below. The factory steel wheels show corrosion and other blemishes. A vinyl top is present and stated to be stained on its underside.

The cabin retains torn black bucket seats with mismatched piping as well as faded carpets, rubber mats, and a rearview mirror. Instrumentation includes a 5-digit odometer showing 37k miles, with total mileage unknown. The dash is equipped period AM radio, and an antenna is present on the trunk lid. A service sticker from 1959 is visible on one door jamb. No keys convey with the car. A 7000 RPM Normale tachometer is fitted, though this car would have originally had an 8000 RPM Veloce tach.

The original Veloce engine was removed early on and a replacement Normale twin-cam 1,300 inline-four is thought to have been fitted in approximately 1960 and rebuilt in 1964. A 4-speed manual gearbox is fitted. The hood displays factory placards showing build data and recommended lubricants.

The ‘F’ can be seen stamped in the firewall, denoting a Veloce model.

Additional images of the engine bay and undercarriage are available in the gallery below.

The receipt above shows an engine rebuild completed in 1964 at a cost of $461.57, while another from 1966 indicates an exhaust replacement performed at a Midas in Milwaukee.

A spare wheel and factory jack are included in the sale.

DISCLOSURE: This car has been titled in Wisconsin since the mid-1960s as chassis 1495-04307. The chassis number stamped in the firewall is 1495-09918. The two numbers do not match. It is not known why this discrepancy exists.
